Mount Sinai St. Luke's and Mount Sinai Roosevelt consists of two sites located along on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, with Mount Sinai Roosevelt located at Tenth Avenue at 59th Street and Mount Sinai St. Luke's located at Amsterdam Avenue at 114th Street. Mount Sinai St. Luke's and Mount Sinai Roosevelt, established in 1846 and 1871, respectively, brought to their merger extraordinary records of medical "firsts" and commitment to their patients.

Today, the two sites respond to the diverse needs and challenges of New York City’s population; serving some of the world’s most influential figures to some of the cities most needy. There is a continual flux of attendings, house staff, patients, and administrative personnel between these two sites, and Mount Sinai St. Luke's and Mount Sinai Roosevelt hospitals is considered a single institution. A hospital-provided bus is available for travel between sites.

The primary mission of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery is to provide care of the highest quality to all orthopedic patients presenting to Mount Sinai St. Luke's and Mount Sinai Roosevelt hospitals, regardless of the patient’s race, religion, sexual orientation or ability to pay. To accomplish this task, we have an outstanding attending staff with fellowship training in all of the subspecialties of orthopedic surgery, and most hold teaching appointments at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, including some with the rank of clinical professor.

Mount Sinai St. Luke's and Mount Sinai Roosevelt maintains a close academic affiliation with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. All academic appointments for the attending surgeons of the Mount Sinai St. Luke's Roosevelt Department of Orthopedic Surgery are at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. However, the orthopedic surgery residency of Mount Sinai St. Luke's and Mount Sinai Roosevelt is run as an entirely separate and independent entity from Mount Sinai Orthopedic Surgery program.

The residency program is currently approved for 15 positions, three in each year of a five-year program. The PGY-1 residents (i.e. “interns”) are provided with a schedule of 12 one-month rotations controlled solely by the chairman of orthopedics. These rotations are in compliance with the guidelines of the Residency Review Committee for resident education.

Above all, we strive to provide superior quality education to our orthopedic residents, fellows, third and fourth year medical students from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, as well as fourth year students from medical schools over a broad geographic area. By practicing with the highest standard of care, we strive to advance the knowledge of our hospital staff, patients and the community.
